I remember that when I was a child someone told me that a religious (catholic) figure wanting to explain how terrible hell was as "eternal" punishment used a image like that: Imagine there is a big mountain in one side of Earth, all made of grains of sand; a small bird catches a grain at the time, flies all the way to the other side of Earth and leaves it up there; the entire mountain will have changed places, and a soul convicted to hell will still be suffering up there. This was their images of a very, very long time. Sometimes watching this channel I get the impression that some of the images here could humble the theologist notions of eternity. Isn't too hard to imagine some Physic teacher braking Mont Everest into grains of sand, adding the medium speed of a small bird in the equation, plus the distance, and reaching the conclusion that isn't really a period of time particularly absurd. And, in fact, he could find a few cyclic events that could be measured in two or three moves of this mountain. Or a hundred of them. Of course, it is still not "eternity". As far as I understand eternity is not on the table, under know physics, according to most educated opinions. What is a shame. I do like eternity.

All these speculative visions of deep space habitats and colonizing/terra forming various planets and moons always leaves me wondering, "What about the animals?" Not just pets like dogs and cats. What about birds, fish, and whales? What about lions and tigers and bears? I think it would be very difficult to live a lifetime in an environment without everything from insects to elephants. We depend the vast array of plants and animals to balance our ecosystem. I also believe humans would suffer psychologically from not being able to go outside and take a deep breath, listen to birds sing, or spend a lazy day fishing on a row boat.
@lukasmakarios49982 жыл бұрын
That's why I'm hoping for habitat cylinders at least 50 miles in circumference, big enough for a full riparian ecosystem running through a forest. The less manicured the better, so that we can at least pretend to practice our ancestral survival skills. My ideal biome would mimic the Appalachian mountains, and taper off into rolling farmlands. There are closely related biomes in Scotland and China too, I have heard, so the twin cylinder could hold one of those. Lots of biodiversity!

@@robertlipka9541 Heat pumps can get an effective efficiency of more than 100% because they don't have to produce heat, just move existing heat around. Once you realise that, they're pretty intuitive; conservation of energy only holds in a closed system, heat pumps get the heat they pump from the outside environment. We're going to get a lot wrong, but if you can get work from energy without it flowing you've fundamentally broken entropy in a way that would render thermodynamics a polite suggestion and you won't need vacuum energy.

A correction on the issue of dark energy: Within the milky way, the density of matter and regular energy is too great for expansion to occur, by orders of magnitude. There are no new plank volumes being generated anywhere near earth, because gravity is strong enough to hold everything in place. The regions of space that do experience expansion are intergalactic space. This can support the proposal for deep space habitats if we discover a way to extract energy from the expansion of space, as infrastructure to do so would have to be located far away from a galaxy, hover that infrastructure, including the nearby habitat, would also have to be much less dense than any galaxy is.

@Curiefeld2 жыл бұрын
I'm casually working on a story based on something similar to this. Long story short a cult broke off from the system and set up many isolated habitats in the Oort Cloud. They grew in numbers snd power and hid their habitats. They became more crazed and extreme as the centuries passed. They eventually take over defence stations and start shooting at the Saturn and Neptune systems over an old grievance. They start terrorising everyone in the system, going after people who descend from their old enemies. They are capable of taking out even the biggest O-Neill Cylinders with a single hit. However, the Dyson swarm can be converted into a Nicoll-dyson cannon with the press of a button. The question is, do you activate the cannon, find their habitats and blow them up? There are lots of innocent oppressed people on those habitats. Do you invade them to save the innocents, giving them more time to kill more people? How do you reintegrate the innocents into society if you do?

Just spitballing but since it's most economical for space habitats to import certain goods rather then producing them themselves. I think the easiest, reliable way to ensure taxes get paid is to have taxes on trade. With everything being digital you can also force trade to happen through a few digital choke points and smugglers are really easy to spot in space. And my mind is just imaging a giant orbiting version of the Comex in lunar orbit, with JP morgan having a trading station .001 light seconds away so they can run up any outside orders to grift a few cents off each trade... I think if we stay capitalist this is definitely going to happen as it would give control to governments and rich a-holes.
